Warriors, Hornets Among Teams Monitoring Bucks’ Bobby Portis Ahead of Trade Deadline

Milwaukee is weighing Portis’s contract as a pathway to a bigger swing to reinforce Giannis Antetokounmpo’s supporting cast.

Overview

  • ClutchPoints reports the Bucks are buyers and could include Portis to facilitate a larger upgrade rather than moving him in a standalone deal.
  • Golden State and Charlotte are identified as suitors, with additional interest reported from the Suns and the Lakers.
  • Portis is averaging 13.2 points and 6.5 rebounds while shooting 47.3 percent from three in just over 23 minutes per game.
  • He is earning $13.4 million this season and is under contract for two more years, making his deal useful in trade construction.
  • Kyle Kuzma is cited as a likely centerpiece in Milwaukee’s potential pathway to a major addition, and one analysis notes a Warriors move could require a multi-team framework.
